How Physical Stress Pushes Cancer Cells Into Dangerous New States
2025-09-14 03:44:45 +00:00
Target Cancer CellsPressure from surrounding tissues activates invasive programs in cancer cells. This mechanical stress rewires epigenetic regulation. Cancer cells are notoriously adaptable, capable of shifting their characteristics as they spread throughout the body. Many of these shifts stem from epigenetic changes, which influence how DNA is organized and expressed rather than altering the genetic code itself. […]
